Three Jolly Siblings

Recently we moved Foof’s bed into Luke and Emma’s room and they couldn’t be more thrilled!  Referring to a favorite book, The Five Jolly Brothers, Luke said, “We’re like the Three Jolly Brothers!”  After I explained that this didn’t quite work because Emma and Ruth are girls, we modified it to the “Three Jolly Siblings.”

 

Matt told the kids that maybe we should put away Foof’s bed and put her in the bed with Emma or Luke, both of whom claimed her immediately!  Luke declared, “Foof can sleep in my bed with me!”  Matt said, “But Emma wants Foof to sleep with her, too.”  Luke responded, “Emma can sleep with her own self, and animals … and I can sleep with a real animal called Foof!”
